Python/C API Reference Manual, section Utilities, Parsing arguments and building values, function Py_BuildValue. The description for the format unit "f" is incorrect. It reads "Same as d.", as it should be "Convert a C float to a Python floating point number." since "f" is not the same as "d" when converting double to Python float. This was corrected in the documentation of Python 3, from which the proposed description comes. |

I've checked in the code: 'f' and 'd' are really the same (Python/modsupport.c). And in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stdarg.h, you can read: """A float will automatically be promoted to a double.""" |
